Botis, alibi Otis, magnus Præses and Comes, Prodit in viperæ specie deterrima: Et siquando formam induit humanam dentes ostendit magnos and cornua duo, manu gladium acutum portans.

Otis ou Botis, grand président des enfers. Il apparaît sous la forme d’une vipère; quand il prend la figure humaine, il a de grandes dents, deux cornes sur la tête et un glaive à la main ; il répond effrontément sur le présent, le passé et l’avenir. Il a autant d’amis que d’ennemis. Il commande soixante légions.
